• US House of Representatives elects a young earth creationist to be Spea

    From Lawyer Daggett@21:1/5 to All on Wed Oct 25 16:27:52 2023
    As much as people have been laughing at the US GQP for their failure
    to coalesce and elect a Speaker, they ought to be more embarrassed
    at the clown they just elected. He is a White Supremacist, Christian Nationalist who is also a young earth creationist. Few understand just
    how much of a lunatic this guy is.

    You don't understand what an emotion is, and you support the tyrannical covid coercion.

    That's what happens when the Christian nationalist tail wags the GOP
    dog. They have been doing it for at least the last 30 years.

    What's funny is that he's ridiculously homophobic, and you never mention
    it. They probably made him speaker because of this:

    https://mikejohnson.house.gov/news/documentsingle.aspx?DocumentID=527

    He's also anti wasting more money on the Ukraine, and he's pro Trump.

    These are important issues for Republicans right now. They set them apart
    from the Democrats: "We're the anti war party!"

    And as Biden's popularity slips from low to nil, having a pro Trump man
    isn't going to hurt them.

    His career is 100% lunatic Reich Wing, no doubt about that, but he seems
    to have moved towards the center since getting elected to congress.

    There's no science anymore. They died years ago. The religious faithful,
    and their precious Gwobull Warbling gospels, are out of control. Even if
    a word from their scriptures were true, there's nothing we could do about
    it. China was already producing 10x what the gospels claim got Gwobull
    Warbling started, back in the 1800s, and they were doing so YEARS ago.
    They have plans to add more coal fired plants than are inside the United
    States (we have the planets largest coal reserves) but they're already
    burning more coal than all other nations combined.

    And Biden talked about banning gas stoves, New York & Boston have
    already banned new hookups to the gas grid, all for the polar bears, yet natural gas exports are BOOMING! They doubled then doubled again!

    Yeah, gas don't kill the polar bears if they burn it in Europe...

    Gwobull Warbling is religion. There's not a lick of science. There's no
    sense what so ever to the policies people advocate.

    More and more people are disgusted by the activists, and this new
    speaker is going to be appealing to them.

    The real problem is you.

    I mean, look at you! Instead of reforming the left and center, you're
    bitching about the right.

    I'm a liberal Democrat. Biden's foreign policy sucks out loud. His
    economic policies suck out loud. His energy policies suck out loud.
    If Kamala Harris ever failed to play cheer leader for a rioting mob
    then I certainly never heard about it.

    The Democratic party in 2020 was defined exclusively as "Not Trump."

    And it still is. It's not "Pro" anything worth voting for. We need to make
    it the anti war party again. We need to make it the pro working class
    party again.
